The Ultimate Warrior has just passed away.
Growing up he was one of my favorite wrestlers of all time.
For me it was Warrior & Hogan.
Warrior vs Hogan at WrestleMania VI was my favorite match of all time.
Honored to have been there in New Orleans to see him inducted into the hall of fame.
From WWE:
WWE is shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of the most iconic WWE Superstars ever, The Ultimate Warrior. Warrior began his WWE career in 1987 and quickly went on to become one of the biggest stars in WWE history. Warrior became WWE Champion at WrestleMania VI, defeating Hulk Hogan in an epic encounter. We are grateful that just days ago, Warrior had the opportunity to take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame and was also able to appear at WrestleMania 30 and Monday Night Raw to address his legions of fans. WWE sends its sincere condolences to Warrior’s family, friends and fans. Warrior was 54 and is survived by his wife Dana and his two daughters.
Triple H just tweeted, "Saddened to announce the passing of the Ultimate Warrior. Icon and friend. My sympathy to his wife Dana and his daughters."
Stephanie McMahon also tweeted, "#RIPUltimateWarrior Your strength of character is to be admired. There will never be anyone like you. Your spirit lives on in your family."
Hulk Hogan tweeted, "RIP WARRIOR. only love. HH"
Kevin Nash wrote, "So happy I embraced Warrior with a hug when we saw each other backstage Saturday night.My heart goes out to his family.Always Believe."

Most stunning news coming out of this weekend. And that says ALOT. I can't say I grew up watching the warrior but I did watch the amazing tribute he recieved this weekend and the fact that this has happened just one day later is nothing short of mindblowing.
RIP To one of the greatest to lace up a pair. Warrior.

This really upsets me.
My favorite wrestler of the golden era. Glad he was alive when inducted to the Hall of Fame.
R.I.P. Warrior

I certainly hope his little girls and his wife who were so proud of Warrior will be fine with time. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to each of them during this time. RIP Warrior, thank you for the memories.

I had the honor of designing his figures for Mattel.
I am extremely proud of the fact that he personally let me know how much he liked them.
This sucks.

I own B29 and E26 and they are both amazing. Some of the most colorful and unique figures I own. Same can be said for the man. |

Anyone notice his speech or promo on raw?
"Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe a final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper and something larger than life, then his essense, his spirit, will be immortalized." - Ultimate Warrior
Did he know it was gonna happen?

His words on Raw now have such a haunting air of prophecy. There will never be such an amazing or captivating character on WWE ever again. Rest in Peace Warrior.

I'm so saddened by his death. This whole weeks sucks from undertaker streak ending, to aj losing her belt, now to this. Pro wrestling it at a downfall for me right now. |
